INTERESTED? SOME FOLKS SAY THERE ARE HARD TIMES AHEAD. THE KIDS THAT LEFT HOME ARE MOVING BACK TO THEIR PARENT’S HOUSE. FURTHER, THEY ARE BRINGING THEIR KIDS WITH THEM. SOCIAL DEMOGRAPHERS CALL THAT “DOUBLING UP.” EVERYONE IS LIVING ON TOP OF EVERYONE ELSE.

 NOT EVERY ONE HAS A JOB. THERE ARE PART TIME, CONTRACT WORK, AND “ON CALL” WORK. IDEALLY, MOM AND DAD HAVE THEIR OWN BEDROOM.

HOWEVER,  CHANGE IS COMING.EVERYONE IS SUPPOSED TO PITCH IN TO HELP WITH THE HOME SCHOOLING OF THE KID’S KIDS. THERE IS MINIMUM WAGE JOBS. NO MORE YELLING AT EACH OTHER.

ONE LOAD BEARING WALL IS REMOVED SO THAT FOLKS “FEEL” LESS CROWDED . TEMPERATURE IS COOLER TO EXPERIENCE MORE ROOM.

THIS NEW FAMILY HAS ONE CAR, TV, CELL PHONE, AND USED APARTMENT SIZE FURNITURE. THE NEW UNEMPLOYED KIDS FIX THE HOUSE, CUT THE YARD AND PAINT THE GARAGE. THE INSIDE WALLS ARE PAINTED LIGHTER COLORS TO MAKE IT MORE ROOMY.

NUMEROUS ARTICLES ARE PUBLISHED ABOUT HOW TO MAKE A LITTLE HOUSE INTO A BIG HOUSE.

WINTER IS COMING SOON.
